Stop Boot Manager appearing

Hi

There have been variations on this problem, but I have not seen one with these conditions.

I have a new installation of Win7 Ultimate, installed over WinXP, without reformmatting the drive.

I get Windows Boot Manager at startup giving me the options of Win7 or Microsoft Windows Recovery Consol.

Disc Management Boot Tab only shows Win7 - no Microsoft Windows Recovery Consol.

I want to clean start without Boot Manager - how can I do this please

Try a full clean & full format in command prompt.
Disk - Clean and Clean All with Diskpart Command
Partition or Volume - Delete
Partition or Volume - Create New
Partition - Mark as Active
1) Boot DVD, & Press Shift+F10 (for command prompt)

SELECT DISK # (win HD)

You're going to reformat your drive?
Wipe the drive?
Are you sure that's what you want to do?

Yup - I have no data on that drive
All on another HD (which will be powered off for safety) and also backed up elsewhare
Thanks for the warning

If go to the tutorials in my post, you will find step by step screen shots.

[Quote]I assume that I can do above entering Command Prompt from my running Windows 7[quote]
you can remove the HD from PC & install as slave in aother PC.

Please remove your email address.

No problem, I thought you just wanted to remove the Bootmanager prompt so you boot directly into Win-7. (which is easy enough to do).

Hi

I have been following the recommendation from THEOG , but I get the following error with DISK CLEAN

Virtual disc error
Clean is not allowed on the disc containing the current boot, system,page dump crash dump or hibination volume

Is there s/w that I can download that will clean the file please

Please advise name and source as I do want to completely clean the disc as recommended to get rid of the Boot Manager

Best
